That seemingly didn't stop the pro- and against-AI camps in the kernel from continuing to bicker, though.

    AI is not going to die, no matter what. Survivors will crawl out the blast crater, no matter what.

    But I’ve said much the same! If your workflow is wrapped too tightly around a particular AI, you may well be in for an ass fucking, and not the fun kind. I think the discussion should be around broad use cases and not, “Claude does it this way.” Does that make sense?

      Dude you need to take a break on prompting because it’s starting to bleed into your speech.

      There is nothing saying that AI in its current form will continue to exist. The main risk is that the companies providing the models today, as well as those providing open weight models, have been in serious need of a functional business model for years now.

      Without the continued investment, on which I don’t know what the return even is, even local run models will go stale.

      There’s a frenzy right now that is scrambling everyone’s brains, and tokens are supremely subsidized. I’m asking what happens when the subsidies end?

      It’s quite possible to use these things to produce code you are capable of maintaining without them, but it’s just as possible (if not much more likely) to create mountains of shit that nobody understands, in which case we’ll all be pretty fucked the day the models go dark.
